About this place
The yakitori course at G.O.D begins with lightly grilled chicken breast, followed by gizzard, heart, neck meat and lantern. Diners have described the pleasure of tasting how each cut differs. Another account praised the fragrant grilling and the chance to try less commonly seen cuts as part of the course. Start with the set selection, then consider ordering extra skewers à la carte if a particular cut catches your eye.
The course centres on an assortment of 3 kinds of obanzai, 6 yakitori skewers and a palate-cleansing dish. One diner recalls komatsuna greens with fried tofu among the obanzai, and coarsely grated daikon as the palate cleanser, offering a pause between skewers. Another was particularly taken with the palate-cleansing dish: chewy, smooth and rich tofu. These accounts suggest there is more to explore here than the skewers alone.
Other dishes to consider include soy-marinated chicken egg yolk, chicken tenderloin yukhoe and raw chicken liver. One diner especially enjoyed the soy-marinated yolk; these dishes offer a different way to enjoy chicken beyond the skewers.
Tea-based drinks are another appealing match for the food. One diner found the gyokuro tea drink easy to enjoy, while another recommended the tea-based drinks more generally. The menu lists drinks mixed with sencha, hojicha, gyokuro and Japanese black tea. The teas are also available as soft drinks, so there are options for different preferences.
Menu information also lists an all-you-can-drink plan lasting 90 minutes for guests ordering a course. A plan that includes draft beer and sake is listed as well, giving diners a choice depending on what they would like to drink. Several reported visits combined a 2,750-yen course with the drinks plan, and some diners made reservations.
For a final savoury dish, options include a charcoal-grilled chicken and egg rice bowl, chicken paitan broth with cha soba, and grilled rice balls. Dessert is available too: Jizo pudding is listed as suitable for takeaway. The meal can therefore extend beyond the skewers, with several ways to round it off.
